Countries attach importance to this sector due to the great contribution of tourism to the economy of countries. We can say that the tourism sector is closely related to the architectural structures of countries. People are curious about the architecture of other countries and visit it for this purpose. In this context, countries are now increasing the importance of architectural structures in order to protect and develop their architectural structures to attract tourists. In this regard in our study the effect of architectural buildings on tourism has been discussed on the scale of Baku city.

In addition to the preservation of historical buildings in the city, religous buildings are also built for the worship of new, modern, Muslims, Christiansand Jews. For this reason, in order to measure the effect of university employees, living Baku state tourism agency employees, public and private sector employees in the field of tourism and the local people in terms of tourism, the buildings we chose within our study in the city were prepared according to the semi-structured interview technique, and the interview was conducted through on interview forum consisting of two parts.
